A great Space Opera series - David Drake seems to have hit his stride with the Leary/Mundy series. The blend of Heidelberg duelling school manners with classic Honor Harrington space opera (but without the, in my mind, tedious reams of technical detail)takes a little getting used to, but bears rewards. Credible characters in believable battles scenes and a well-paced narrative are common to all the books in the series, but they are difficult to read as stand alone stories - so, start at the beginning of the series and get reading!
